CIVIL WAR MARTIAL HENRY RIFLE

Description:
MARTIAL CIVIL WAR HENRY RIFLE. SERIAL NO. 3638. .44 CAL.  1ST CONTRACT GOVERNMENT PURCHASED HENRY. MANUFACTURED DECEMBER 1863. BEAUTIFUL PATINA ON METAL. BRASS HAS A GREAT COLOR TO IT. PROBABLY CLEANED 125 YEARS AGO. TONED BACK BEAUTIFULLY.  ORIGINAL STOCK HAS BEEN EVER SO GENTLY GONE OVER YEARS AGO. WOOD TO METAL FIT IS EXCELLENT. ACTION IS FINE. THE INITIALS OF CHARLES G. CHAPMAN (ORDNANCE SUB-INSPECTOR) ARE FOUND ON BARREL, FRAME AND RIGHT SIDE OF BUTT PLATE.  THE STOCK DOESN'T HAVE A VISABLE CARTOUCHE . IN MY OPINION, IT NEVER HAD ONE BECAUSE THE STOCK IS THAT GOOD, YOU'D SEE THE OUTLINE AT LEAST. AGAIN, IT IS THE ORIGINAL STOCK. ALL NUMBERS MATCH ON RIFLE. BUTT PLATE SCREWS ALSO ARE NUMBERED AS THEY SHOULD BE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF MINUTE HAIRLINE CRACKS ON ONE OF THE TANG SCREWS AS SEEN IN THE PICS. NOT TO WORRY. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SHOOT IT, ARE YOU? BOTH FRONT AND REAR SIGHTS ARE ORIGINAL. THIS IS A VERY,VERY GOOD ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR  MARTIAL HENRY RIFLE FOR YOUR COLLECTION. THIS RIFLE HAD BEEN IN A FRIENDS COLLECTION FROM THE 1970'S. PLEASE CALL 973-214-3407 WITH QUESTIONS. THANKYOU
